The feel-good read of 2024. Perfect for fans of Mike Gayle, Beth O’Leary and Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper. Selected as one of the Independent’s 19 debut authors set to make their mark in 2023

‘Gentle, honest and beautifully authentic’ Julietta Henderson ’Touching and sincere’ The Sunday Times ‘Feel-good, heartwarming fiction’ Holly Miller ’I’m totally #TeamArthurandTeddy’ Heidi Swain ’A feel-good novel to inspire’ My Weekly ’Uplifting and emotional’ Justin Myers ’A celebration of family and love’ Platinum ‘Joyful, big-hearted’ Freya Sampson ’Will stay with me for a VERY long time’ Miranda Dickinson

When 79-year-old Arthur Edwards gathers his family together to share some important news, no one is prepared for the bombshell he drops: he's gay, and after a lifetime in the closet, he's finally ready to come out.

Arthur's 21-year-old grandson, Teddy, has a secret of his own: he's also gay, and developing serious feelings for his colleague Ben. But Teddy doesn't feel ready to come out yet – especially when Arthur’s announcement causes shockwaves in the family.

Arthur and Teddy have always been close, and now they must navigate first loves, heartbreak, and finding their place in their community. But can they – and their family – learn to accept who they truly are?
